I’m a coward. Since I am a coward I would be emptying my sidearm into terrorists like no tomorrow.

I’m guessing the police officers were in shock. Since they had no orders to do anything, they did nothing.

That’s one brave photographer.

My thoughts, too, that the police were in shock. It makes a person seem like they're standing around doing nothing, when the body and mind have shut down for self-preservation.
